“The Most Trusted Name In Fluff”

Ahead of Larry King‘s interview with Paris Hilton tonight, Jon Friedman calls CNN “the most trusted name in fluff:”

“Has anyone noticed that ‘the world’s most trusted name in news’ isn’t exactly covering itself in glory these days? Don’t forget Wolf Blitzer‘s meltdown during the Anna Nicole Smith saga. The news network’s decision to replace morning anchor Soledad O’Brien with Fox and Friends fixture Kiran Chetry was questionable.

Maybe we all should accept that news and entertainment have become so intertwined that there’s no distinguishing between them.”
